When Cooper gets his proper average, who would be a better reserve? Bowes, Gilkes or Newman?

Not Bowes, he would struggle to knock the skin off a rice pudding!!

Poole's Matt Ford waiting to see how Gilkes performs for Leicester before making any decision

Correct decision, I think it’s still likely that Gilkes will come in to replace Newman. But maybe there will be a surprise and it will be Bowes who departs

Great to see ex Pirate Woryna winning the GP.

Possibly I dont know but he was terrific in the lcq and the final and had a unlucky tapes exclusion when Doyle moved and he reacted.

The GP points system is a farce especially when Dan bewley scores 15 points in the heats,only to come 2nd at the end

I thought the previous system was better, dont agree there should be two lcq's but those are the rules and Woryna passed Bewley in the final so deserved to win, cant see him really getting close to winning the gp series so  Bewley will be pleased with his night.

yes, and it was even worse for Brady Kurtz, the last place in the LCQ ruined his results completety.

I am convinced that the riders do no longer give it all during the heat races, since those points scored do not count for the World championship anyway now. The old system when every point won on the track actually counted was much better.

Zmarzlik just took it easy last night. He took no unneccessary risks, won only one race, but still ended up on the rostrum in the end, right behind Bewley, who rode so much better and had won all five of his heats. I just don't think this system is fair.

So getting back on topic, who would Pirates prefer in the BSN semi finals? Redcar  Edinburgh or Berwick?

I'd go back to the original system from 1995 onwards....A,B,C, & D finals with points awarded accordingly.

Redcar less travelling 😜 and more chance of beating the pilots 😃

Well I'd go for Berwick in terms of making it to the final, but for the most entertaining racing Redcar.

I would have liked Workington, thought that would be the easiest but they are worse than I thought!!
